Score The Right Nutrition: Our Premier League Of Football Products
Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN
Football fans – the wait is finally over.
This month (August) marks the start of the 2019/20 Premier League season, which we’re sure is guaranteed to bring drama once again.
With every new league comes action, a game plan, grit and determination and the right amount of energy from the players to perform match-after-match, regardless of if they’re called on for the last nail-biting 10 minutes or go into extra time.
Of course, regular training helps guarantee players are at the top of their game, but that’s only part of the equation. Taking on the right type and amount of nutrients before, during and after every match, as well as during training sessions, also helps achieve optimum performance.
Interestingly, according to Harvard Health Publications, people who weigh between 155 and 185lbs typically burn around 260 to 311 calories after playing football for 30 minutes. So whether you’re playing a team sport, such as football, or swimming, running or cycling, it’s important you replenish your spent calories.
Eating well and sport go hand-in-hand
And it applies if you’re a Premier League top striker or a Sunday League goalie. It can:
Help you to perform well
Reduce the risk of injury and illness
Enable the best recovery
So, now we’ve spoken about the importance of fuelling your body for sport, let’s focus on how you can easily go about doing it, thanks to our pioneering range of nutritional products and protein snacks.
Given our extensive product range, we could have quite easily treated you to a broader overview of what we offer. However, seeing as it’s football season, we’ve decided to focus on our top 3 football product picks, (but feel free to browse around our extensive range of shakes, bars, special packs, juice and much more!)
Our top 3 football product picks are:
